LC USB Hub w/ 7 ports

These informations are provided “AS IS” and without any warranty of any kind.

This module provides an 7-port USB 2.0 Hi-Speed HUB.

When using an external power supply, each downstream port supports up to 2 A, but the total current will still be limited by the 5.5*2.1 barrel connector.

Those connectors should generally not exceed a maximum of 3 A, otherwise they overheat and cause damage.

Without an external power supply, the total current will be limited to 500 mA.

Pros

PCB and components seem to be good quality, works flawlessly
Compact board design makes it a suitable for DIN Rail mounting
Decent price-performance ratio

Cons

External power supply; using KF129 or a plugin screw terminal would have been a better choice, especially when mounting on a DIN Rail, but also to support more current in general
If mounted on DIN Rail: A USB Type B Socket would provide more stability than Micro USB

3D Printed Case

I’ve designed a DIN-Rail mountable case for this board, it will soon be available on eBay.de

As most of my cases for electronic devices, it has been printed using insulating and flame-retardant (UL 94 HB) DuraPro ABS filament from Extrudr.

STL Files for 3D Printing

The .stl files for the DIN-Rail case will soon be available on Cults3D.com
